Trip to Digana : Golf Course

We went on this trip on December 2008 and it gave me some of the best scenery shots I have captured so far...

The location was Digana, a town further off from Kandy. We lodged in a holiday bungalow inside the Victoria Gold Course. It was my first time on a Golf Course in SL and I was quite impressed.

Tissamaharamaya

This photo presents Tissamaharama Dagoba, which is a Buddhist religios place built by an ancient Sinhalese King called "Kavanthissa" in the 3rd Century BC (though it had been repaired time to time by later rulers). It is situated close to the Tissa Wewa and Tissa town in Southern Sri Lanka.

I captured these pictures on a trip to south with my parents. We had lunch at the Tissa Wewa Rest House (of the Sri Lanka Hotel Coperation). It was situated at a bank of Tissa Wewa and the surrounding scenery was awesome. My Kodak clicked!

Tissa Wewa Rest: At its BEST

A Tree with an Artistic Formation

Along the Colombo-Badulla road at Valhaputenna, right in front of Valhaputenna Maha Vidyalaya, I found this tree. Isn't it facinating how trees form themslves according to light and sound and a variety of other factors?

It even have this orchid-like sub-plant growing on its trunk, as you can see on this pic.

This particular tree is bending towards the road, to listen to the sound of people and vehicles that are moving beyond.

Nature is amazing, isn't it?

An Elegant Christmas Decor

This charming christmas decor caught my eye as I walked into the institute where I am following my BSc. I couldn't help marvelling at its designer's creativity in putting together some simple things to create such a beauty.


This proves what 'synergy' means, doesn't it?



Synergy (in my own words):

the output created by the combined power of individuals is greater than when you separately consider each individual's power...

The 2009 christmas party evening was made quite glamerous with those 'elegant decors' and they were such a delight to every eye which passed through!
